Grouse Guns

[Phil Yearout]

Well, as you know, we ain't got no grouse out this-away unless you count prairie chickens, which are another story. But we do find the occasional quail, and this year I hope to have a chance at a few with this Fox A-grade 20, 26" barrels, which recently came back from Mark Larson after some stock repairs...

Well there will be a couple of guns going out this year. My favorite, Holland&Holland 28 ga and then a DH 16 ga Damascus and maybe the A grade 20/28 ga.

Summer has been quite complicated for me--so, I am going to simplify my 2 week grouse hunting marathon by bringing only 1 gauge , and 3 guns.
The first, the venereble old VHE 20 with barrels cut to 26 1/2" and cyl/cyl--it aint much to look at, but sweet to carry on my all day death marches.
A grade 2 Ugartechea 20 w/ 27" IC/M and straight grip is another gun great for long days in the woods.
And finally, when hunting by myself, I will use the little Jos. Manton 20 ga 30" barreled hammer gun with open chokes.
All the 16's(9), will come out to play after I get home and start chasing pheasants.
Will post photos later, they are on laptop, which I left at home
